What’s all the fuss about pixels?

Plug in a regular string of lights and they just come on. Now imagine being able to control each individual light and even it's color. Each light or group of lights is called an RGB pixel or just pixel. Light-O-Rama was an early pioneer of this amazing technology. That's a Cosmic Color Ribbon to the right.

What’s a sequence?

Using precise timing, every action you see in a show is synchronized with the music and is repeatable. We call it sequencing. If you are the creative type, doing this gives you total control. The Light-O-Rama ShowTime Designer provides all the tools you need.

Previewer/Visualizer Show Simulation

The Light-O-Rama Previewer/Visualizer is a sophisticated planning and virtual hardware simulation tool designed to compliment the Light-O-Rama ShowTime Sequencing Suite.

The Previewer/Visualizer is most commonly used during the design of your show. It allows you to add and edit virtual lights on a virtual stage to see what they might look like in the real world. Once the design is complete, the virtual lights hung and the virtual channels wired to your virtual Light-O-Rama controllers you’re ready to go. The Sequence Editor or the Show Player can control the Visualizer just as if it were any of the hardware types supported by Light-O-Rama.

Since the Previewer/Visualizer uses standard IP communication, it is not limited to just design simulations on your sequencing computer; it can also be used as a display item in your show. For example, you could attach a large screen TV to a computer somewhere else on your physical stage and control it from your show computer.

If you’re in a professional environment you can record the show via a screen capture program (examples are below) and show it to your client via your computer or posting it on your website.

What can you do with the Previewer/Visualizer

Take a picture of the venue, add the lights, pixels and special effects, map everything to Light-O-Rama virtual controllers and watch the sequences you’ve created with the ShowTime Sequencing Suite Sequencer. The Visualizer is built in to the Light-O-Rama ShowTime Sequencing Suite.

How can you use the Visualizer in real life?

Take a picture of your venue:

Add your virtual lights, pixels and special effects on your virtual house. Take advantage of several design element wizards that are part of the Visualizer tool including arches, trees and matrixes. With this example we’re using four 16 channel controllers.
